Insight: Barnes (.245, 7 HR, 36 RBI) was responsible for five of Houston's six runs with three coming on a game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth inning. The three-run blast was his first homer in almost a month (August 9th against Texas). Barnes' days in center field could be numbered with top prospect George Springer (37 HR, 45 SB in the minor leagues this season) likely to start there next season.
